After a stint in prison for a gun charge he wishes he could take back, Ja Rule is now free and working on improving himself as a man. With the release of his new autobiography Unruly, he stopped by the Ebro In The Morning show on HOT 97 to discuss his highs and lows.
During the mid 2000’s, Ja’s gruff voice was nearly inescapable with his series of R&B influenced Rap hits. Then 50 Cent rose to power and the game turned their back on the Hollis, Queens native.
Now with much more experience under his belt, Rule comes back with a book detailing his come up, taking Murder Inc. to the top, the G-Unit wars and more.
Of course Ebro and company did not waste any time with their questioning, thus another memorable interview was captured.
So we present the top 8 things we learned from the Ebro In The Morning Ja Rule interview. Hearing about Ja hitting 50 Cent with a bat was surprising to us; let us know your favorite moment in the comments section below.

The Book
When asked why did he write Unruly, Ja wanted to share his experiences so that he may possible inspire the youth to do better with their choices.
Father Issues
Ja claims that his dad was a very wild guy. Pops was abusive to the family and had a bad drug habit.
Busy Body
Ja attributes his ability to stay busy and create new opportunities for his brand as the prime reason for his relevancy to the culture.
The Fight
Even though this has been spoken on previously, Ja details how he and his crew beat 50 Cent with a bat in Atlanta. Chaz Williams of Black Hand Entertainment tried to bring the two together for a peace talk and things got rowdy. 50 swung and Ja retaliated with a bat that he happened to have on him. Ironically he says Fif’s crew did nothing while the fight was going down.
The Restraining Order
Even though several media outlets refuted the authenticity of the restraining order Murder Inc. said was filed against them, Ja asserts that it was definitely true. Since 50 was so popular at the time the public refused to believed Rule.
DJ’s Are Not Safe
Ebro also brought up a story about a party in Miami HOT 97 was hosting that Ja happened to be attending. When said DJ saw Rule walk by, he played a 50 Cent diss record. The DJ got stepped to by Ja and company but thankfully cooler heads prevailed.
Super Head
Ironically Ja Rule denies ever having sex with Karrine Steffans. Do you believe him?
Formula 50
Surprisingly Ja admitted that Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ was a dope album. He did say that 50’s music fell off after that.
